As shown in the figure, three identical polaroids P1, P2 and P3 are placed one after another. The pass axis of P2 and P3 are inclined at angle of 60^{\circ} and 90^{\circ} with respect to axis of P1.The source S has an intensity of 256\frac{W}{m^2}. The intensity of light at point O is  -\frac{{W}}{m^2}

\small \text{Intensity of source }I_0=256 \frac{\mathrm{W}}{\mathrm{m}^2}\\ \text{ Intensity after passing }P_1 \text { is } I_1=\frac{I_0}{2}=128 \frac{\mathrm{W}}{\mathrm{m}^2}\\ \text{Intensity after passing } P_2\text{ is } I_2=I_1 \cos ^2 \theta

\small \begin{aligned} =(128) \cdot \cos ^2 60^{\circ} \\ 128 \times \frac{1}{4}=32 \frac{\mathrm{W}}{\mathrm{m}^2} \end{aligned}

intensity after passing \small \mathrm{P}_3 \text{ is } \mathrm{I}_3=I_2 \cos ^2 \theta

angle b/w \small \mathrm{p}_2 \text{ and } \mathrm{p}_3=30^{\circ}
So, \small I_3=32 \cos ^2 30^{\circ}=32 \times \frac{3}{4}=24 \frac{\mathrm{W}}{\mathrm{m}^2}
